]]>It’s never too early to shop post-christmas sales…even, as it turns out, a couple days before Christmas. See below for my top 10 faves among the first round of discounts:

1. Blossom Mother and Child has launched its seasonal sale and now is the time to score those investment maternity and nursing pieces that make your mouths water, but your wallets groan. Some of the pieces are as much as 50% off. Peruse the maternity dresses, maternity tops, and knitwear, and if you have a moment, be sure to browse the first arrivals for SS15.

2. British maternity line Slacks & Co has discounted all of its tasteful maternity dresses at 25% off. No crazy prints or cleavage allowed over at Slacks & Co, this line brings badly needed minimalism to the maternity arena.

3. Isabella Oliver is already offering up to 50% off its autumn-winter collection, with many of the most desirable pieces being offered at a steep discount. Those Ruched T-shirt maternity dresses that so many pregnant celebrities love are now discounted at various rates, but still available in many colors and sizes. You can’t go wrong with one of these, and they are perfect for layering. The IO Coats are even included in the sale, though the discount there is smaller.

4. Ingrid & Isabel. The go-to line for maternity basics has some of its most popular tops available at a very steep discount. How about one of their Seamless Camis for $15? No joke. Sizing is limited, but you could get very lucky.

5. Madderson London isn’t joking around, with 60% off its fall 2014 line. These dresses are pricey, but there is plenty of winter left to go and one of these silk dresses or blouses could brighten up the January doldrums–especially if you bought it for a song. I happen to love the silk Florence blouse, which is now a mere $105.

6. Over at A Pea in the Pod, Rebecca Minkoff’s new maternity line is already deeply discounted, despite only having debuted this past fall. It was severely overpriced in the first place, so with an additional 30% off the sale price, maybe it’s worth taking a look at now. I liked this silk pink maternity dress in principle, as I appreciate when designers use high-quality fabric to make maternity clothing–but at $350? No. It is now closer to $100 and still available in all sizes, so perhaps its finally worth your consideration.

7. I’m completely obsessed with the stylish compression socks being offered from Vim & Vigr over at Figure 8 Maternity. How cute are these? Let me tell you, compression socks did not look like this a couple of years ago. You can comfortably let these peek out of the tops of your boots without worrying you look like your grandma. Use the exclusive PF discount code–“PFfriends2014″–for 20% off these socks. Figure 8 even offers overnight shipping, so you can stuff these in someone’s stocking for Christmas. A gift that looks good, while also preventing pregnancy-induced varicose veins–how thoughtful.

8. This may not be a Christmas sale, but maternity line Imanimo is still staging a 50% off sale on its most recent summer collection and both the size and collection are impressive. Stock up for that upcoming beach babymoon, or simply because you are realistic and know you will likely still be in pregnancy clothing come the warm weather.

9. Over at J Crew, everything is 30% off with promo code “HOLIDAYTIME.” With tag kind of discount, it may be worth trying out their maternity Minnie pant. I’ve heard mixed reviews on this pant, but I’ve had a few readers call them fabulous. Try them out yourself, that are very much returnable, even with the sale price.

10. Finally, over at Saks, maternity jeans are included in the whopper of a sale the store has just launched today. Need a pair of white maternity J Brands? If you do, they are a mere $64 and still available in most sizes.

]]>This list is for moms-to-be, new moms, not-so-new moms, and just about anyone who loves a really good, sitewide discount. None of these Cyber Monday posers who are only discounting sale items or offering a discount on “select” pieces. You don’t get to be on the PF list unless you’re discounting absolutely everything.

2. Splendid. The real question for me at Splendid is how not to buy every single piece in their toddler collection. The site is offering a very generous 40% off sitewide today, do not miss this chance to stock up on the line’s must-have baby and toddler basics. Use promo code “CYBER2014.”

3. 7am Enfant. Your newborn will not only be protected from the cold, but will look Parisian chic while doing so. 7am Enfant is offering 30% off sitewide today with promo code “CYBERMONDAY30.”

4. Dannijo. Are you so bog at this point that the notion of new clothing simply upsets you? Then buy a nceklace. Or a bracelet. Dannijo, jeweler to the stars, is offering 25% off sitewide today–the discount is applied at checkout.

5. Intermix. This boutique doesn’t sell maternity. but I love window shopping here, for those days when I finally return to my pre-pregnancy weight…and no longer have to wear mom-friendly clothing. The site is offering an unusual 20% off sitewide today with promo code “CYBER2014.”

6. Paige Denim. The well-established denim line continues to churn out new maternity denim season after season and they deserve our shopping support for that. They are also offering 30% off sitewide today with promo code “CYBER3o.” Kepp yourself right on trend with a pir of their destroyed boyfriend maternity jeans, theJimmy Jimmy style, priced at $199. With the discount, they come in below $140.

*****

1. Isabella Oliver. After a weekend full of discounts on “select” items, IO is finally offering that sitewide discount. Use promo code “MCL36″ for 33% off the entire IO collection.

2. ASOS. If you’re looking for that adorable maternity holiday dress that isn’t going to cost you more than $100, ASOS’s Cyber Monday sale is the place to find it. Everything in the online boutique, including the sizeable maternity collection, is 30% off with promo code “ILOVEMONDAYS.”

3. HATCH Collection. The to-die-for maternity collection is offering 30% off its already steep prices. But everything in the online boutique is included with promo code ‘GO430″–best excuse you may ever have to buy yourself a HATCH piece.

4. Vince. Everyone’s favorite line for basics is offering 25% off sitewide in honor of Cyber Monday. Use promo code “UNWRAP25.” Vince sweaters are and should be every pregnant woman’s standby for layering.

6. Oliver’s Labels. You may not know how badly you need Oliver’s Labels yet, but you will once your little bundle starts daycare or school. Label everything–a lesson I have learned over and over again. Oliver’s Labels is offering 25% off sitewide for Cyber Monday, take advantage of it and stock up! Use promo code “CYBERMONDAY14.”

]]>It’s here–every devoted shopper’s favorite weekend of the year. Here is the beginning of the maternity-friendly sales already up and running for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I’ll plan to update this intermittently all weekend as the discounts roll in:

2. Janie and Jack. I cannot get enough of the adorable baby and toddler clothing on this site, especially their holiday wear. The entire site is now 30% off, with the discount reflected on the site. I can’t wait to bribe my first and second grade sons into wearing this reindeer sweater for our visit to Santa.

And don’t forget these sales are still ongoing:

1.Shopbop. There is a graduated discount being offered this weekend at Shopbop, and you can earn up to 25% off if you spend $1000. It’s far too easy to spend $1000 in their incredibly chic maternity boutique. Use promo code “GOBIG14″ for a sitewide discount on your purchase.

2. Alice & Olivia. A&O doesn’t carry maternity clothing, but I find it very hard to resist their shoes and coats these days. The entire site is now 25% off through Cyber Monday, no promo code necessary.

3. Figure 8 Maternity The exclusive PF sitewide discount at Figure 8 continues through the weekend. Type promo code “PFfriends2014″ at checkout for 20% off Figure 8’s collection of maternity clothing and accessories, as well as the most carefully curated selection of nursingwear you’ll find in any online boutique.

]]>Black Friday is arriving one week early here at PF, as Figure 8 Maternity has extended a sitewide discount code to PF readers exclusively. Type promo code “PFfriends2014″ at checkout for 20% off Figure 8’s collection of maternity clothing and accessories.

But most importantly, type “PFfriends2014″ for 20% off the best and most carefully curated selection of nursingwear you’ll find in any online boutique. Figure 8 carries the leading lines like Boob and Dote, but is especially talented at finding those small, under-the-radar nursing lines and this winter is no different–be sure to peruse the nursing dresses from new line, Sophie & Eve…these are good quality pieces all of which are priced under $75. The charcoal Hepburn Ponte Nursing Dress, pictured at right on Figure8 owner Stephanie (who just gave birth), is a favorite.

Do you need a festive nursing dress to get you through the holidays? Of course you do! If you’re going to breastfeed at all of those parties and family gatherings, you should look fabulous while doing it. And you shouldn’t be perched on a toilet seat cover half-naked in an uncomfortable cocktail dress that doesn’t have nursing access if there are more “convenient” options available.

Tiffany Rose’s gorgeous berry-colored Alicia Nursing Dress is more than convenient, as it’s cut from the silky soft jersey for which UK maternity designer Tiffany Rose is famous. You will need to dry clean this if you leak or spill on it, so be prepared for that. But you will also have one of the most lovely dresses at your family party, nursing and non-nursing attendees included. The $170 Alicia dress also comes in blue, if you have so very many holiday parties, you need a spare.

]]>My absolute favorite part of this job is writing about brand spanking new maternity lines entering the market. I love it when aspiring designers take the plunge into maternity, it’s such a risky place to put your money and energy. But also so desperately in need of small, independent designers with fresh, innovative ideas.

I digress. Let me introduce you to Kali Liakou, a new maternity line designed and manufactured in New York City. And yes, that means it’s expensive, but do you need another maternity dress manufactured on the cheap? These dresses, jumpsuits and blouses are an investment, but they are truly gorgeous and very much in touch with current fashion trends.

Draping, asymmetric hems, roomy pockets–all are included in Kali Liakou’s debut collection, which is available for purchase in the online boutique. Kali was kind enough to send me a few samples and my personal favorite is the elegant, strapless Ismene Dress. With elastic through the top of the dress, this maxi dress buttons across the chest and then gathers at the bottom.

Prices for Kali Liakou range between $150 and $300. Several of her pieces are currently out of stock but are expected to be restocked soon, in time for baby moon season this winter…

]]>The November friends & family sales really start to kick off this coming week, with J Brand launching its 20% off F&F sale today.

And yes, that includes the entire maternity collection. I won’t waste more space lamenting J Brand’s inability to give the pregnant J Brand lovers any new maternity options as of late–right now, the online boutique stocks only a small array of maternity skinnies. Where are the maternity boyfriend jeans or fit and flares so many other denim lines are providing? Still, we all need one good pair of skinnies to make it through a pregnant winter, so now is your chance to purchase them at a discount. Use promo code “FRIEND14.”

Keep watching here for more sitewide discounts as we head into Black Friday…

]]>That absolutely perfect black cashmere Maternal America Sweater I discovered and raved about a few weeks ago which sold out immediately? It is back in stock at Figure 8 Maternity and still available in all sizes. This sweater belongs in the drawer with all of your other maternity basics, and in a rare turn for a maternity designer, MA has styled it in 100% cashmere. How can you say no to this sweater? Snatch it up before it’s gone.

]]>Giggle’s Friends & Family sale is always an opportunity to get that coveted Orbit car seat, Bugaboo stroller, bloom high chair or unnamed piece of high-priced gear you’ve been eyeing since that pregnancy test came back positive. But this year, the sitewide 20% off promotion also includes maternity and nursingwear, as Giggle now smartly carries basics from the Ingrid & Isabel line. At 20% off, these must-have tights, bras and camis are suddenly just a bit more reasonably priced. And Ingrid & Isabel is one of those tried and true maternity lines that if you don’t know about already, you’ll wonder how you might have missed it.

The Giggle Friends & Family sale ends tonight, so get shopping with promo code “FRIENDS14.”
